Grover Cleveland, here we come (22 & 24). And while perusing the interwebs today, saw an old photo of a young Grover Cleveland IMO resembling JD Vance.

I think Kamala missed the chance to make her great impression on potential voters in ALL the states, such as those with 'red' pasts and/or LITTLE electoral numbers, like Wyoming/New Mexico/Oklahoma/Montana. Just give them a visit or two and some attention. She practically LIVED in Pennsylvania for two weeks straight, from what I heard and saw in the media.

Does it really matter, Cheerio? I mean, that question is based who she’s running against. Honestly, she should have been able to sit in a coffee shop every day and do nothing. Run against him? But the problem is we have too many stupid people in this country who already had their minds made up. It doesn’t matter if she visited those other states more or not. His approval rating and votes should be zero. Literally ZERO. My goodness, he’s not even supposed to be on the ballot!

If he were anyone else, he wouldn’t even be able to find a basic job, with his criminal record. But people vote for him? I’m so sick and tired of all the conscientious stupidity and sincere ignorance that’s going to get us all killed because of one man. It’s sickening and it’s seriously making me nauseous!

You guys are talking about this election like it’s Bush vs Gore or something - two normal candidates. Trump is not normal! “Oh, Kamala Harris should have spent more time in other states.” Really?

The conscientious stupidity and sincere ignorance you speak of come from poor education in schools during the past sixty years. Textbooks covering many subjects during that time were dumbed-down. There was too much experimentation with open, formless classroom methods of teaching/learning. Poor schools didn't have much of a chance to improve the quality of their buildings, teachers, textbooks. We are reaping what has been sown.

Remember years ago, during a different presidential election cycle, when Trump said he loves the poorly educated? He still does. I reminded my nephew this morning a presidential election often hinges on which candidate has attended an Ivy League school. It shouldn't matter, but it does.

Yes, I know you said you don’t want to talk about it…but I have to chime in and say I agree with everything you’ve said. I work the night shift…so I’ve been sleeping all day and then I woke up to this

Just know, even though we don’t really talk much on here, that I appreciate your posts.

Holding out hope!

I don’t know why she’s so upset about something that isn’t over yet. Still more votes to count.

I think there are too many misogynists who simply think it's better to have a dishonest from who has no regard for the Constitution over a woman.

Yeah. And it felt so damned good to cast my vote for an amazing woman I truly believe in

Truth is, this sh*those country doesn’t deserve Kamala.
